I suspect that a field in one of the visualizations in the dashboard is missing it's type.

If you go to `Management` and sort by type, do you have any fields missing a type? If so, are any of these fields being used in the visualizations on the dashboard that is throwing the error? If you click `edit` to edit the field, then choose the appropriate type for the field, and save it, I think that should force the type field to be filled in. Let me know if that helps at all. I found similar discuss post - which had some more info: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/9571](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/9571) check it if helps too.

Thanks
